  • Bee hives/May Bee brand

Excellent quality-order complete with everything for assembly Excellent price / saved almost $ 100.00 per Hive compared to other vendors used in the past

  • Fully assembled and ready to use with the bees
Item Package Quantity: 1
It is getting harder to find painted hive bodies and fully assembled frames -- This is a fascinating hobby, but I am not looking for extra work painting hive bodies or assembling frames. I ordered 4 of the full hive kit and another 4 extra hive bodies with frames. All arrived promptly, neatly painted, sturdily constructed. The wooden frames had plastic foundation inserts. While it was shipped assembled, some of the plastic foundation inserts did fall out in transport, but were super easy to re-insert -- no assembling frames, no clips and was foundation that easily breaks. We will see during the season how the bees react, but my previous experience with fully plastic frames with built in foundation has been good. The only downside is that this came with lots of boxes withing boxes, so unpacking took about 2+ hours. Overall, I am pleased with the construction and with the clean look. Package bees purchased locally get installed in 3 days. ... show more

This brand was recommended by a bee keeper friend of numerous decades. Involved no work whatsoever & of very high quality. So happy, we’ll get another one to keep on hand for the next swarm!

  • Excellent buy!
Item Package Quantity: 1
This Hive is the quickest, easiest way to get a hive. This is my first hive and was able to set it up with no effort. Then, all you have to do is get the bees and "install" them. My bees have been in the hive for several months. I was a little worried but have been very excited and happy with the progress of the bees on the plastic foundation. The only think I wish it had was a screened bottom board instead of a solid. Item is accurately described and a great buy. I had to purchase an additional deep hive body fairly quickly because of the fast growth of the colony. ... show more

  • Excellent speed of delivery (free)
Item Package Quantity: 1
Excellent speed of delivery (free). Product is well made and exactly as advertised. Bees are happy! Price was good. Only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it only includes a solid bottom board (which was as advertised). We really wanted a screened bottom board option, which was not available. We had to purchase a screened bottom board elsewhere at an added cost of $35. ... show more

  • Great Pre-assembled Complete Langstroth-type Beehive
Item Package Quantity: 1
These complete bee hive kits by Mann are really very high quality and they come assembled. It's a great kit for a beginner or someone like me, very experienced, but no longer interested in assembling frames with foundation. The wood is very high quality. I wish they had bottoms with screen for warm climates, but I route out most of the bottom and then cut out a piece with a power jigsaw and mount 1/8" hardware cloth on the bottom. We live in Hawaii and this works well to create air flow from below. ... show more

  • Look No Further
Item Package Quantity: 1
I've bought 3 over that last three years not because they break down but because they are durable and my apiary is growing. I've use some off brand and home made boxes, frames, bottom boards, and covers, but nothing compares to the perfect fit of mann lake components. I believe that the fit help keep down pests like Small Hive Beetle and ants. This is what you should get for your first hive and every other one after that. ... show more
